Oh really? I thought a patent only works for things that haven't been done before. And this totally has been done before.

My guess is by the end of this, comment thread you're either going to be undertood to be an uneducated teenager that doesn't understand how, when, or why companies patent technology, or you're going to attempt to act like you know exactly what people who are correcting you are talking about, all the while attempting to back yourself out of this original statement because it was an obvious reach.
If someone doesn't correct you by the time I reach my post, I'll be glad to. But patenting something doesn't make a company a patent troll. The process typically goes, idea > prototype > patent > (trade show) > manufacturing > trade show > retail. Suggesting someone is a patent troll for patenting something is just stupid, if not premature.
Fap simulator is the only use I see for this.

@bold my guess is that I don't really care because that's just your opinion, and it's not a good one. My second guess is that this thread is 2 weeks old and shows that what you predicted hasn't happened, and most likely will not happen.
The 2nd paragraph just has nothing to do with what I posted. I never said patenting something makes a company a patent troll. If you have a quote of me saying that, by all means. But if you don't, you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

EMG sensors are inexpensive and plentiful. Easy technology to work with. You register an EM signal to a muscle, and you know to what muscle, how long, and how much it was fired.
Brain signals are weak and as far as I'm aware, the science is more divination than it it is proper science.
Brain signals aren't weak, they are at the stength as all the other nerves, it just that there is a whole cluster of potential interference, the brain is always active doing autosomatic (I think I have the right word) functions, and the only way to read a "layered" view of the mind is a MRI which isn't an option.
Plus motor nerves are closer to the surface and easier to read.
